In the makeup room backstage, Zhang Ye sat in front of the mirror, allowing a female makeup artist to apply his makeup. This was actually the first time that Zhang Ye was putting on makeup. In the past, he would at most have his hair styled. Back in the Radio Station, it was not required, as his face was not seen. When he was in the television station, Zhang Ye was lecturing on a historical program, and since he did not have a dark face, it did not matter. But this time, it was different. It was an entertainment program. There was a lot more to a host's image. Since this was his first recording, he naturally needed to dress up.
The female makeup artist asked, "How do you want it done?"
Zhang Ye casually said, "Just make me into something like Takeshi Kaneshiro."
"...Who is Takeshi Kaneshiro?" The makeup artist asked with bewilderment.
"Uh, then do it such that I look like a Korean idol." Zhang Ye smiled after noticing that the makeup artist was at a loss of whether to laugh or to cry, "Just joking. Relax."
She said, "Then I'll do it simple?"
"Alright, I'll leave it to you." Zhang Ye trusted a professional's perspective.
As he was doing his makeup, a person rushed over, "Teacher Zhang, what color should your clothes be? Or should it be a western suit? Should I bring them all here?"
Zhang Ye said, "Since it's the first episode, get me something more bright-colored. Red or green would do, to make it seem more festive."
"Alright, I'll bring it over." The staff member hurried away.
The voice of a Field Director that had been newly transferred over echoed in his headset. "All teams, we are 30 minutes away from the audience's entry. Make haste!"
Even if Zhang Ye was all-powerful, he was also unable to take on every role. For example, about seven makeup artists, a Field Director and miscellaneous staff were arranged by Director Wang over the past two days to take up their roles. The person with absolute authority over the program team was Zhang Ye. He was also the only person in the the senior and middle roles. He had seven people under him, but the gap between their responsibilities was very huge.
"It's done," the female make-up artist snapped her fingers.
Zhang Ye looked into the mirror, but on first glance, he did not seem to have transformed. However, the transformation could be seen on camera due to the lighting. "Alright, I'm going!
